Can love save a life? (Mc romance)

24 - It's Over Baby

Today was the day. The day Brooke faced her demon face to face. The day everyone was dreading.

Everyone was sitting around the table, Xavier wouldn't let Brooke off his knee but she didn't mind as it was keeping them both calm.

Brooke didn't get much sleep the previous night as her mind kept thinking of today and all the way things could go wrong.

"So there's no more pain right?" Alex asked Brooke.

"Nope and I don't have any pain riding either" Brooke nodded.

"Wait how do you know that?" Xavier asked.

"I may have snuck out after you fell asleep and rode around the compound because I couldn't sleep" Brooke said leaning back into Xavier.

"That's why you were in somewhat of a good mood this morning" Xavier laughed, shaking his head.

"Brooke" James said taking a deep breath "it's time to sent the text"

Xavier watched as Brooke hovered over the send button, she took a deep breath, closing her eyes as she hit sent before tossing her phone on the table.

Tom, I want to come home, meet me in the woods at 5pm. Come alone.

She felt physically sick as all the worries creeped back into her mind.

What if the plan didn't work? What if she ended up back there? What if she got killed? What if...

She had so many thoughts it was making her head spin. She needed to get out of her, she needed an escape.

"I'm sorry this is too much" she whispered, climbing off Xavier's knee and walked out of the room.

She ignored everyone that spoke to her as she headed straight towards the garage. Grabbing her leather bomber jacket off the hook, she slipped in on before putting her helmet on and grabbing the keys from the hook.

As she straddled the bike she felt the engine rumble under her causing a small smile to appear on her lips. Slamming the visor down she remotely opened the garage door before giving her bike full throttle speeding out and racing around the compound.

At least in this moment she felt free as the wind battered her jacket.

"I knew this was going to be too much for her," Xavier sighed, running his hands through his hair.

"Xav she will be fine, she just needs to process the information. She used to do this when we were kids, remember" James smiled at the memory.

"I don't even know where-" Xavier said before stopping mid sentence as the roar of her bike got louder and then faded.

He smiled, he should have known. Every time things get hard Brooke goes for a ride. She has done since she was old enough to ride a bike.

A loud thud on the window brought him out of his thoughts. Looking over to see the once clear glass was now covered in grass and mud.

"Think we are going to have to replace the grass" he laughed, shaking his head. He didn't care if it kept his bumble bee calm then He would replace the grass as long as they both lived.

"I'm gonna see what mess she has caused" Xavier laughed walking out the room.

As he stood on the grass just watching as Brooke tore up the compound. She didn't see him at first but as soon as she did she raced over to him, skidding around him covering him in grass and mud.

Once she had righted her bike, in one movement she cut the end, kicked the kickstand and lifted her muddy visor up smirking at Xavier.

"Oops" she giggled as she climbed off her bike.
